"   OK, I&amp;#039;ve gone and done it. There&amp;#039;s no backing out now. In a similar vein to being pregnant and HAVING to give birth, I&amp;#039;ve committed to this fitness blog, so let the pain commence! As my introduction alludes to, I&amp;#039;ve never been a girl who counts the calories. For me, life is way too short to worry about whether the last piece of cake I&amp;#039;ve eaten is going to add a little more wobble to my belly. As for fruit and veg, forgot it. You&amp;#039;ll be lucky if I consume five portions a week let alone in a single day. Despite this, I like to stay relatively fit. Ironic huh! Whilst I used to be a regular runner and Power Plate user, this all came to a standstill when I became pregnant back in July 2010. And there in lies the problem. Before I became a mum I was lucky enough to pretty much eat what I liked and not put on weight (as long as I exercised). Now, with barely enough time to shower and dress in the morning, exercise has slipped to the bottom of my priorities and I&amp;#039;ve gained the clich\u00E9d mummy tummy as a memento of all my efforts. As any mum reading this will know, your body is NEVER the same after giving birth (unless you&amp;#039;re incredibly lucky or can afford a personal trainer for three hours every day). Whilst I&amp;#039;ve remained the same dress size as my pre-pregnancy days, my body shape is completely different. My legs wobble in places I swear they never did before and I&amp;#039;ve acquired some really attractive back fat. As for a flat tummy, forget it. This is something I&amp;#039;ll forever wish for. But, like winning the lottery, have resided to the fact that it&amp;#039;ll simply never happen. I&amp;#039;m looking forward to seeing where this fitness journey is going to take me (in an adrenaline junkie, slightly scared, kind of way). Somebody pass me the gas and air and we&amp;#039;ll get going!
